Corporate​/M&A Solicitor – Equity Partnership SME Transactions

🚀Corporate / M&A Solicitor – Equity Partnership Opportunity (UK SME Transactions)

We are building a next-generation transaction platform focused on UK SME business sales.

Our goal is to modernise how small and mid‑sized businesses are bought and sold — combining structured deal execution, technology, and curated professional support.

We are seeking an experienced Corporate / M&A Solicitor to partner with us on a long‑term basis.

This is not a traditional employment role.

This is a strategic legal partnership with equity participation.

We are launching a technology‑driven infrastructure for:

• SME business sales
• Structured deal execution support
• Due diligence workflow automation
• Professional partner integration

We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

All legal services are delivered independently under the solicitor’s regulated entity.

We are looking for a solicitor who:

• Has experience in SME share and asset sales
• Is open to fixed‑fee pricing models
• Is interested in consistent deal flow
• Is entrepreneurial and open to equity participation

• Contract directly with clients for legal services
• Operate under your existing SRA‑regulated structure
• Maintain full professional independence
• Receive deal flow from the platform
• Participate in equity upside in the platform company
• Clients engage you directly under your firm / sole practitioner structure
• Legal fees flow to your regulated entity
• Platform revenue remains separate
• Equity in the platform is offered subject to vesting and involvement

This structure preserves regulatory separation while aligning long‑term incentives.

• 4–12 years PQE (flexible for the right person)
• Corporate / commercial background
• Strong experience in SME transactions
• Comfortable working alongside tech‑enabled workflows
• Interested in building something long‑term

Entrepreneurial mindset strongly preferred.

To ensure regulatory integrity and proper transaction handling, applicants must:

• Hold a current practising certificate as a solicitor in England & Wales
• Be authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority
• Operate as a sole practitioner or within an SRA‑regulated firm or ABS structure
• Maintain minimum £2 million Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) cover
• Have a compliant AML framework in place (client due diligence, source of funds checks, ongoing monitoring)
• Be experienced in handling SME share and/or asset sales

Fully Remote.

Regional and boutique practitioners encouraged to apply.

• Equity participation in a scalable platform
• Opportunity to shape a modern transaction model
• Long‑term strategic role, not just case‑by‑case work

If interested, please message directly or email [your email].

We are open to conversations with both sole practitioners and small corporate boutiques.
